What it tells me (and I think that's only as an experienced user) is that if I click, the list will expand in the same space and show me the contents.

Same here. I just clicked to see if they did, in fact, expand. (Like "twisties" in Lotus Notes). I like the look of the triangles better than the folders, though, FWIW. (That's what I was coming in here to say: "Ooo, pretty red things!"

To an inexperienced user, I think they'd look like triangles.

Which is less of a problem, I think. They draw the eye, so inexperienced users who hit the home page will focus on them, and if said user is looking to talk about film or TV (ie, Buffy), s/he'll probably click correctly.

Yay triangles! I likes them better than folders.

If possible, the subthreads should be indented when you click on the widget. And the technical term would be "navigational trail," not "breadcrumb," Jim, since breadcrumbs are dynamically generated.

These will be dynamically generated, if I understand you correctly -- each page is generated by the same code, after all.

But why not just have them be folder icons? Those draw the eye at least as much, plus may convey information.

Eh, I was fine with the folder icons too. I just thought the Buffista red was pretty.

Maybe we should make them red folders, or yellow folders with red triangles on them.

Can we change the folder name from "Film and TV Discussion" to "Film and TV Discussions"? This is really bothering me for some reason. Maybe because "Discussions" suggests more that there are multiple threads to be found therein.

Me, I think the word Discussion looks royally dumb there under Discussion Threads, but Discussions while not meaning anything significantly different to me, looks no more dumb.

I think when it was under the Subfolders bar, having Discussion in the link title was good, if not entirely necessary. But now, yeah, good point. Not really necessary.

Arrows, folders - both good. Arrows are more aesthetically pleasing (to me), I guess, but either way.

Why not call the folder "Film and TV Threads"? That would make it similar to "Closed Threads."

I prefer the arrows, but it's just a mild preference.
